We Are All Trying Here

The review

We Are All Trying Here is a Korean drama that sits in the Slice of Life, Dark Comedy, Drama space. The central appeal is clear from the start: a deeply human series about ambition, self-doubt and trying again. This spoiler-free review is for viewers deciding whether it deserves a place on their watchlist, rather than for anyone looking for a scene-by-scene recap. It is the kind of title that works best when you go in knowing its genre, its mood and the amount of investment it asks for.

What makes We Are All Trying Here worth considering is its commitment to that particular mix of slice of life and dark comedy. The storytelling has enough room to establish its atmosphere, while the characters and the central conflict give the episodes a direction beyond the initial premise. It may not be trying to reinvent every familiar genre convention, but it understands the pleasure of a well-shaped drama: clear stakes, a watchable rhythm and moments that make the next episode feel tempting. The best viewing experience is to let the tone lead you rather than expecting something completely different from the tags.

There are also reasons to keep expectations realistic. A 4.5 out of 5 rating means this is a recommendation with a specific audience, not a claim that every viewer will have the same reaction. One of the standout dramas in this collection for reflective viewers. If you usually prefer faster plotting, darker stakes or a more realistic approach, the genre blend may not fully suit you. But for viewers who actively enjoy slice of life, dark comedy, drama, those very qualities can be the reason it works.

For practical viewing, We Are All Trying Here is listed on JTBC · Netflix. My final take is simple: it is a useful pick when you want a drama with a recognisable identity rather than an all-purpose crowd-pleaser. Searchers looking for a We Are All Trying Here review, rating, genre guide or where-to-watch information should use this as a spoiler-free starting point. Raaga’s score is 4.5 out of 5, and the rewatch answer is yes—its mood and genre strengths make it worth revisiting.
